Bye and bye now

We'll get over

The things we've done and the things we said

But not just now when

I can 't remember

Exactly what it was I thought we had

'Cause I waited so long girl and I came so far

To find out you're not always who you say you are

And there's a star in the book of liars by your name

Santa Claus came in late last night

Drunk on Christmas wine

Fell down hard in the driveway

Hung his bag out on the laundry line

There's a Cobra Gunship for his golden boy

And there's a Hello Kitty for his pride and joy

And a silver star in the book of liars by your name

They hung a star in the book of liars by your name

Stars imploding

The long night passing

Electrons dancing in the frozen crystal dawn

Here's one left stranded at the zero crossing

With a hole in its half-life left to carry on

But now the world's much larger than it looks today

And if my bad luck ever blows me back this way

Then I'll just look in my book of liars for your name

I'll just look in the book of liars for your name
